For the purposes of comparison, the UN has far more cash swilling about, and its global network predates Dells by half a century; yet, when the tsunami hit, it took not four days but four weeks for its staff to establish a presence at Banda Aceh. Dells coalition is pretty eclectic  capitalist, Eurostatist, Chinese Communist, Chinese Nationalist, Latin, Anglophone, Jewish, Muslim  yet it functions harmoniously. Meanwhile, all that that pompous Norwegian who heads up the UN humanitarian bureaucracy could do was give press conferences in New York hectoring the developed world for its stinginess, so every Western government promptly dipped into its taxpayers pockets and threw more money at the pompous Norwegian than he can ever usefully spend, and the only result will be that, when the next tsunami hits, itll take em even longer to get to the scene, but the pompous Norwegian will be able to give even more hectoring press conferences, perhaps with lavish visual aids.

BIG BUMP! A Steyn Grand Slam.

Would that the Senate Democrats would get it and stop worshipping the decrepit UN.
